    My views are about the same. And yes I am a Vet and was personably invited my written invitation to go to a war zone .... I defend their right to protest just would like them to do so in a different. way.

    They justify any action that benifits them politically. You imagine is they were doing Nazi salutes?

    To quote Questerr:
    Apart from that, you managed to completely avoid the real point.

    I as others who think clearly and not through partisan chanels can and dobseparate the right to protest from the way theyvare protesting. Of they gave a right to protest but I gave a right to disagree with their method of protest.

    Remember the guy who started this crap, heck he supported Casto for goodness sake all the while claiming Fidel had an open mind, lol. Yeap that's right the dude was protesting oppression of the unfortunate claiming they weren't free yet he also supported one of the worst oppressors of our time.

    Huh??? Buddy, sometimes I feel like I need a decoder ring for your posts, but I think you're saying the same thing we've been saying. We defend their right to protest -- but not the unpatriotic grandstanding attention-whoring way they're doing it. I also defend everyone else's right to condemn them for their stupid unpatriotic so-called protest. And I defend the team owners' right to fire them or fine them or discipline them in some way also.

    Like disagreeing with the protests? That's a viewpoint. Why is the only valid viewpoint always the leftist viewpoint?

    The left spent the better part of last year shutting down free speech, often violently, but we're wrong for merely disagreeing with each their disrespectful antics.

    This is getting so stupid. Does anyone know a single thing that has been accomplished throughout these protest? I would bet most of the so called protesters can't even give a valid reason for the protest.

    What do these kneelers think this is going to do except piss people off.

    Try reading what I actually wrote. Then maybe take a step back from the partisan knee-jerk reactions.

    Not standing up for the National Anthem is not disrespecting the flag. Unless you deprecate on it, on national television, kneeling is not disrespecting the flag.

    Why are you hijacking your own thread? You've lay claim that all members of the VFW condemns these actions, when in fact you don't have the evidence to do so.

    Duh, blacks sided with the organizations criticizing the NFL. This story is all about race, ain't it?

    What is stupid is Trump injecting himself into this discussion, despite the fact there are more pressing issue to tend to. What is stupid is as a President, he swore to defend the US Constitution yet spit on it with his encouragement that team owners should fire "these SOB's" What stupid is instead of condemning this action, a behavior unbecoming of a President, his supporters stand up and....cheers!! What stupid is Trump throwing his rabid supporters raw meat as a deflection because he CAN'T get ANY of his legislation pass. What's happening with the "Obamacare" again?

    \

    So it is your claim that only black members of the VFW disagree with this condemnation?

    BS from the people who won't stand for the National Anthem when it comes on TV, or in a restaurant, or in a sport bar.
